Msnbc Article - Needs A Picture

[Jeremy]

MSNBC is still accepting pictures!. After I posted this they went ahead with the article, but they liked these pictures so much they'll try and get some of them online. Apparently the article will continue to run tomorrow.

 

MSNBC is doing a story for their web site and they're looking for some photos of families geocaching. I don't have control over which one they pick, but you have an opportunity to point out a photo of your family geocaching by posting it here. Of course you will need to give permission for them to include it in an article.

 

So, link your photo here and I'll point them to this thread. Thanks!

Thanks for the photos folks, but it seems they went ahead with the article without the picture. These are seriously cool photos though and worth sharing.

[+Sputnik 57]

Here's the article.

 

Edit: Nice article. Good info. Good quotes from JI. Author didn't use the word "buried" even once! Love the quote from the Afghanistan cache.

Even though they ran it anyway, I'm still proud of my family. Here goes:

It turns out, thanks to the nature of the web, that they can continue to add photos for the article. They may be contacting your accounts in the next few hours asking for your real names to add credit for the photos. Thanks again!

It would be neat if they did something on AmishHacker as how we all used alises or characters while caching. I have some good pictures.

Hey, that's me in that there msnbc picture!!!

[rasntrumpet]

You know....this thread tells more about Geocaching than anything else on this board. It's not about technology. It's not about finding stuff.

 

It's about people.

 

Thanks for the pictures.

For me, it's about spending quality time with my family. It's something we do together that we all enjoy. The stuff we've found in caches (OK, a whole 4 so far) is pretty lame really, but the son loves rumaging and taking something, and we leave something in return. Keeps him happy.
